We have had 2 of these...
We have had 2 of these in our youth program for about 6 years now. They have been reliable guns for shooting singles, but do not cycle well. We did the "Magnum" break-in and by now both have had 5000 Rounds of target loads (Winchester 7/8oz-1200 FPS) sent through them. They still don't cycle consistently and will not cycle lighter Target loads at all. We get most of our ammunition through grants, so we have to shoot what we can get. Frequent cleaning doesn't help, infrequent cleaning doesn't help. About the only shells that we can get to cycle consistently are the magnum loads...can't shoot those all day with 9 year olds...or 59 year olds, for that matter. We have a club member whose parents got her one more recently and she has the same issues. Now, we also have a youth 12 gauge Tristar that is pretty much identical and we have no problems with it cycling 12 gauge target loads. (1oz 1200 FPS) I am giving them a 3 because, they keep on working as far as shooting singles all day and they have the recoil benefits of a semi-auto for our kids. I will say in Tristar's defense, I also have a Benelli Montefeltro that doesn't cycle the target loads consistently, but can shoot AAs (7/8oz-1200 FPS) all day with out any issues. So part of it is the ammunition, but the Tristars won't cycle the AAs consistently either...and if they did... AAs are a whole lot more expensive and harder to get as far as grants go. I would love to get even lighter 20 ga loads to shoot in our programs, but with these, we can't go any lower for sure.

I cannot say if my...
I cannot say if my single experience is totally representative of the quality of this firearm but I must believe it is representative of TriStar quality control. I bought this gun for my son. I essentially bought a semi-auto shotgun that is a single shot. No matter the ammunition used it will not cycle correctly. Constantly jams and/or will not expel the expired shell. Several attempts made and it will not fire correctly. I have used multiple size loads in ammo. I have cleaned the gun thoroughly to inspect for clogged gas ports, etc. Still no go. I would not recommend this gun or brand to anyone.

Questions & Answers
Q: How does the barrel extension work? Can you use the choke with the extension on?
Author: Gilbert C.
(2) ANSWERS
A: Gilbert, The barrel extension is a tube that is threaded like a choke on the outside at one end and on the inside for a screw in choke on the other end. Screws in like an extended choke would, just longer.
Author: James G.
A: yes it works its just a long threaded tube to fit between the choke tube and the choke tube threads
